Hey everyone,

Sorry for being a little missing in action! Ive just been really busy with tonnes of work. I hope your keeping up with my facebook page to see the wonderful beauties that I have been working with :) if not the link is here https://www.facebook.com/pages/Makeup-by-HK/251331084954099?ref=hl make sure you like and follow.

Now I wanted to do a review on a couple of AMAZING lipsticks that I have come across. Lately I have been melting and potting majority of my lipsticks to keep in a palette to save some space. While I was doing this I realized that I was missing a few colours that I wanted in my kit. So off I went to shop for some new lipsticks. My first stop was Walmart because I heard there was a sale on a Revlon lipsticks however when I got there I discovered these amazing Wet and Wild lipsticks (thanks to my sister in law Yousra)

 

The colors that I picked up were Just Peachy, Think Pink, Mauve Outta Here, and Vamp It Up. I have some swatches below the first picture is with flash and the second is without in natural lighting.

Overall I would rate these lipsticks a 4 out of 5. The darker colors have a really long lasting power they will come off but still manage to stain your lips for a really long time. The lighter colors are kind of less likely to last a longer period of time. The finish is VERY matte ( I love this) however some people may find that as a Con. Another positive about these lipsticks are the price. At Walmart I paid $2.75 for each lipstick!! I was super pleased that for the price the quality of the lipstick was not compromised.

All in all I would recommend these lipsticks they are dupes for so many Mac lipsticks that sell for $18. Ladies do yourself a favor and grab these for your kit or even for yourself :)

Stay tuned for my next review it will be on a new Mascara im trying out....

Until then Be safe and happy lipstick shopping :D

Love it or Leave it #4

Hey everyone!

It was 8:20 AM on November 20th and I went ahead and tested out the new Loreal Butterfly Mascara. I worked a full 7.5 hour shift and watched the outcome of this product all day.



First and foremost I just wanted to say that I LOVE THIS MASCARA! Okay now on to the review :)

The first thing I want to say is that the wand is shaped really awkwardly and NOT using it properly will cause a great mess. I use the curved part for my top lashes and the flat side (bottom of the brush) for my bottom lashes. This is a plus because I can never find ONE mascara for both top and bottom. Sometimes the brush is too big other times the brush doesn't separate and clumps up product. This brush glides through the lashes so smoothly.

With some mascaras that I have been using lately I have been noticing that by the end of the day my lashes will start feeling really hard (I mean like potatoe chip crack in half hard). This to me was really scary because when I was taking off my mascara with face wash I would need to scrub extra hard that would damage and even pull my lashes out. This mascara did not leave my lashes feeling hard at all! Take this in, I wore it 10 hours straight the other day and I didn't even realize I was wearing mascara that I was about to SLEEP with it on until I remembered that I hadn't washed my face prior to hitting my pillow.

Below are a few before and after pictures

(no mascara at all)

(one coat)

(BAM...lashes at two coats)

There was no flaking however I realized flaking is a hit or miss it really just depends if you got a good batch or not but that is the case with any mascara.

The ONLY negative thing I can say is that it is a little pricey. However I know that since its a newer mascara it will be higher than the rest.

I rate this product a full 5/5 (price is meh we cant do anything about that :P )

I hope you enjoyed my review and leave a comment if you have tried this mascara and what your thoughts are. Let me know if there are any other products you want me to try out.

Tangerine Twist

Hey Everyone,

I'm so excited to announce that my FIRST EVER YouTube tutorial is now up! Ive worked really hard to get this video working and edited with the help of my wonderful friends. I know its not perfect however its my first video and hopefully I will learn and only get better. I would really appreciate it if you check it out and comment, rate, most of all subscribe to make my day :) (its free)

The look that I showed is called Tangerine Twist. I played off the colours from my hijab again! Like most of my posts I added a different colour to the bottom lashline like this bright green so the look is not so monotone. The hint of blue at the outer corner I feel really made the orange pop.
